March Busy Month for NAEB 

March saw two regional meetings of NAEBers, plus a meet¬ 
ing of NAEB officials and ETV station managers in con¬ 
nection with the affiliates’ meeting of the NETRC in New 
York on March 19. The latter was set up with the coopera¬ 
tion of the NETRC and its affiliates committee, as a follow¬ 
up to recommendations at the Philadelphia NAEB conven¬ 
tion that such a session be arranged. 

As we go to press, some 200 delegates are expected to at¬ 
tend the Region II meet in Tampa March 29-30. This will be

On March 11, Harold C. Miller, president of Miller Asso¬

the general activities of the association. 

Instructional Broadcasters to Meet Next Month 

The NAEB is sponsoring a national conference on instruc¬ 
tional broadcasting May 13-15 at the University of Illinois. 
Co-chairmen Charles J. McIntyre, University of Illinois, and 
Leslie P. Greenhi'll, Pennsylvania State University, have asked 
those with specific suggestions for topics for the conference 
to notify McIntyre immediately. Announcements were sent 
to all NAEBers in mid-March; Newsletter readers who would 
like to attend the conference but have not yet notified Mc¬ 
Intyre should do so at once. Each participant will pay his 
own expenses plus a $5 registration fee. Anyone who is in¬ 
terested in the field may attend, and professional practitioners 
are being encouraged to invite administrators, school board 
officials, and legislators so that they may learn more about 
instructional broadcasting. 

Other members of the conference committee besides the co- 
chairmen are: William Ewing, Ohio State University; Bart 
Griffith, University of Missouri; Stephen Hathaway, Miami 
University of Ohio; Roy J. Johnson, University of Miami; 
Lynn Kalmbach, South Carolina ETV Center; Robert Lesher, 
Hagerstown; and Lt. Col. Robert E. Wood, Air University, 
Maxwell Air Force Base. 

These are the people who met in Washington to discuss 
such a conference, and who were named in the Washington 
Report of February 8, 1963. New members of the committee 
are Robert R. Suchy, Milwaukee Public Schools, Mrs. Kath¬ 
leen Lardie, Detroit Board of Education, and Clair R. Tet- 
temer, Sr., Twin City Area Educational Television Corpora¬ 
tion, St. Paul, who were chosen to give adequate representa¬ 
tion from the schools. 

Convention Session Topics Needed 

For two successive years, NAEBers who have attended the 
national convention have voted the special-interest sessions as 
the most popular feature. These sessions are currently being 
planned for the Milwaukee convention this fall, and the com¬ 
mittee needs suggestions for specific topics, as well as sug¬ 
gestions as to who should be asked to present the papers. 
Please send all such recommendations to Jack McBride, chair¬ 
man of the Permanent Convention Committee, at KUON-TV, 
University of Nebraska, Lincoln, with a carbon copy to NAEB 
Vice President Harold Hill. 

California Approves NAEB Membership 

At its meeting in Los Angeles on February 14, 1963, the 
California State Board of Education passed a resolution ap¬ 
proving the NAEB for membership by schools and by county 
superintendents of schools. The resolution carries specific ap¬ 
proval for the school years 1962-63, 1963-64, and 1964-65. 
Representatives of school systems in the state have reported 
in the past that California schools could not join an organi¬ 
zation without such approval.

94 Register for Region III Meeting 

—by Henry H. Mamet 

Informality was the order of the day at the sessions of the 
NAEB Region III conference at the University of Chicago 
Center for Continuing Education March 17-19. Mendel Sher¬ 
man, president-elect of DAVI, keynoted the convention for 
which there were 94 official registrants, with his address on 
“The Challenge of Change.” The theme pervaded the con¬ 
ference. General discussion areas included administration, fa¬ 
cilities, relationships and programing, the team approach to 
preparation of materials as well as the responsibilities of the 
various representatives of the elements of production. 

In the session on broadcasting facilities, discussion included 
the new low-priced videotape recorders, the 2000 me band, and 
the progress of state networks. The problem of finding avail¬ 
able UHF channels for future ITV translators in Chicago 
and Detroit was discussed. Reports were given on the Illinois 
School Problems Commission-sponsored bill calling for a 
microwave link connecting ETV stations throughout the state. 
Indiana reported on a proposed microwave link connecting 
Purdue and Indiana universities and others. Wisconsin has 
proposals for connecting 7 ETV stations by microwave with 
4 of them acting as production centers. Ohio has a 29-station 
plan under way. 

“How to do it” discussions shared time with discussions of 
philosophy. In one buzz group, participants talked about the 
need for more experimentation, utilizing TV to its fullest 
potential in terms of its ability to express immediacy through 
the extended use of mobile units and film. This concept was 
also discussed as it related to radio. One suggestion was that 
all educational broadcasters might well agree to work jointly 
on special projects for the year. This would be particularly 
applicable in attacking social problems and problems dealing 
with the welfare of the nation. It was agreed that a principal 
problem was public apathy, not only toward mass media but 
toward other elements of society as well. It was reported that 
affiliates are now discussing a concerted effort toward pro¬ 
graming in the general area of the “Environmental Revolu¬ 
tion.” 

A half-day session in which NAEB members asked ques¬ 
tions about the organization concluded the conference. Pres¬ 
ident Harley presented a proposed change of structure for the 
NAEB which is being developed; this seemed to meet with a 
considerable amount of favor from the group. A financial re¬ 
port was presented. 

Questions were raised about NAEB’s participation in dis¬ 
tribution of TV as well as radio programs. President Harley 
pointed out that the emergence of many closed-circuit oper¬ 
ations, 2000 me band operators, and nonaffiliates of NET pro¬ 
vides a market for program materials outside the Center. He 
indicated that the NAEB is considering this problem. 

Other items discussed in this meeting were problems of the 
tape network, an FM live network, stereo, and the possibili¬ 
ties of a radio seminar. The publications policy of the NAEB 
was discussed and a vote was taken on the nature of the type 
of journal or magazine which would be preferred by the 
membership. The vote indicated that the members present felt 
there was need for a “professional” journal, but that there 
was a greater demand for more of the “how to do it” types 
of material. 

On the lighter side, one of the highlights of the conference 
was banquet entertainment by Art Hodes, noted jazz authority 
and pianist. 

Intern-Teacher Program Receives Support 

Glen H. Traw, director of the Southwestern Indiana ETV 
Council, writes of the intern-teacher program in which sixteen 
students from four colleges in Indiana will do practice teach¬ 
ing both in ETV classes and regular classroom situations. As 
the first four students completed their work, Traw says that 
the reaction from receiving teachers and all concerned seems 
to be one of enthusiasm for the project. 

The students’ schedule includes TV studio orientation, on- 


camera teaching, directing, camera work, lighting, eight weeks 
of classroom teaching, and a trip to another TV project to 
compare techniques. Cooperating institutions are Evansville 
College, Indiana State College, Indiana University, and Oak¬ 
land City College. The project is financed by a Ford Founda¬ 
tion grant. 

ETV Promotion Tapes Available 

The South Carolina ETV Center has announced a willing¬ 
ness to provide at nominal cost copies of promotional tapes 
and films produced there for RCA. The recordings are suit¬ 
able for use in training teachers and promoting ITV. For 
information, write: Mr. Henry J. Cauthen, Program Direc¬ 
tor, South Carolina ETV Center, 2712 Millwood Avenue, 
Columbia, South Carolina. 

Radio Stations May Obtain Free Programs 

Public-service documentaries on human and intergroup re¬ 
lations themes are available to radio stations as a free service 
of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. “Conversa¬ 
tions with Dr. Spock” is a series of four quarter-hours fea¬ 
turing Dr. Benjamin Spock. In these, prejudice in children 
and the role of parents and teachers in teaching good and bad 
habits of interpersonal relations are discussed. The second of¬ 
fering is a quarter-hour show, “Some of My Best Friends 
. . . . ” Quentin Reynolds narrates this dramatization of ac¬ 
tual cases of discrimination in social clubs, housing, and re¬ 
sorts. For information, contact your area ADL office, of 
write: Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, 515 Madi¬

NAEB Exhibits at ASCD 

Marguerite Fleming and her staff from KSLH, St. Louis, 
manned an NAEB exhibit at the 1963 conference of the Asso¬ 
ciation for Supervision and Curriculum Development. Par¬ 
ticipants in the national conference met in St. Louis March 
10-14. 

South Dakota ETV Group Organizes 

The South Dakota Educational Television Association has 
been organized to conduct a feasibility study of the potential 
for ETV in the state. The association is also negotiating for 
reservation of TV channels for education; two channels are 
reserved now, and two more are being sought. Various state 
education organizations are contributing funds for the survey, 
which is to begin this spring, and hopefully will be completed 
by the end of the year. 

Martin Busch, general manager, KUSD, University of South 
Dakota, was elected president of the association at its organi¬ 
zation meeting. Other directors are: Mrs. Virginia Simpson, 
Rapid City, vice president; Tom Kilian, Sioux Falls, secre¬ 
tary; F. R. Wanek, Pierre, treasurer; Elgie Coacher, Pierre; 
Mrs. Kathryn Wilson, Hot Springs; Robert Hald, Pierre; 
and Robert Black, Sioux Falls. 

NITL Announces 272 Courses Available 

In its second guide, the National Instructional Television Li¬ 
brary lists 272 telecourses (11,814 separate lessons) now avail¬ 
able for exchange. This is over a hundred more courses than 
were listed in the first guide, described at length in the Sep¬ 
tember, 1962, Newsletter. 

The new guide also Indicates the extent to which the 
courses have already been exchanged. While elementary science 
is highest in the number of courses available (35), it is third 
in exchange use with 43 “other” users. Elementary foreign 
languages, for which 30 courses are available, leads in ex¬ 
change rate, with 81 users besides the original. Second is the 
adult course group, in which a single literacy training course 
has had 46 “other” users.

GENERAL 

^ Philadelphia’s educational TV (Channel 35) and radio sta¬ 
tions have switched call letters from the former WHYY to 
WUHY-TV and WUHY-FM. The WHYY call letters have 
been assigned to the recently acquired Channel 12, which is 
scheduled to begin broadcasts in September. Channel 35 has 
discontinued its evening programing, but continues to broad¬ 
cast its daytime, in-school programs. 

^ On April 15, WOAK, Royal Oak (Mich.) 10-watt school 
station, will begin its seventh year of live broadcasting of the 
city commission meetings. 

^ Iowa State University’s WOI has combined with eighteen 
commercial and educational stations in the state to form the 
Iowa State University Radio Concert Network. Stations will 
broadcast twice a month until July; programs will consist of 
taped concerts originating on the university campus. 

^ Beginning in September, University of Texas CCTV video¬ 
tapes are to be given Spanish soundtracks for viewing in 
classrooms at the Monterrey (Mexico) Institute of Technology

stamp books. 

Charles W. Joiner, associate dean of the University of 
ichigan Law School, says that TV is giving a big assist to 
the law school in training better lawyers with more profes¬ 
sional responsibility. He was reviewing the first year of op¬ 
eration of the CCTV link between the circuit court and the 
law school; this was described in the July-August, 1962, 
NAEB Journal.

tional communications for the state department of public in¬ 
struction, said that North Dakota “. . . is one of the few re¬ 
maining areas in the United States where some VHF chan¬ 
nels are still left. Perhaps our state is the only area remaining 
where there could be an educational television network of 
VHF channels entirely. . . 

^ A press release from Wayne State University says that 
that institution’s Television Theater is the only locally pro¬ 
duced dramatic series in Detroit.
